</PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
       <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>  relocates  the  cursor  associated with the <EM>curses</EM> window <EM>win</EM> to
       line <EM>y</EM> and column  <EM>x</EM>.   The  terminal's  cursor  does  not  move  until
       <STRONG><A HREF="curs_refresh.3x.html">refresh(3x)</A></STRONG>  is  called.   The position (<EM>y</EM>, <EM>x</EM>) is relative to the upper
       left-hand  corner  of  the  window,  which  has   coordinates   (0, 0).
       <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">ncurses(3x)</A></STRONG> describes the <STRONG>move</STRONG> variant of this function.


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
       These functions return <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on success and <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> on failure.

       They fail if the position (<EM>y</EM>, <EM>x</EM>) is outside the window boundaries.

       In <EM>ncurses</EM>, <STRONG>wmove</STRONG> fails if <EM>win</EM> is <EM>NULL</EM>.


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE>
       <STRONG>move</STRONG> may be implemented as a macro.


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE>
       X/Open Curses Issue 4 describes these functions.  It specifies no error
       conditions for them.

       SVr4 describes a successful return value  only  as  "an  integer  value
       other than <EM>ERR</EM>".


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-HISTORY">HISTORY</a></H2><PRE>
       4BSD (1980) introduced these functions.
